ScrapBook is a note-taking application, featuring enhanced organizational and search capabilities that help you manage a large collection of notes. ScrapBook also supports encryption (using the DES algorithm), to let you keep selected notes private.
You can organize your notes using nested folders (as many as you need, nested as deeply as you need), as well as by using standard Palm OS "categories". Also, you can assign a list of keywords to a note, and find notes by searching for one or more keywords.
ScrapBook can search its database for multiple words at once (not just a single string), searching keywords, titles, and (optionally) full message texts (for non-encrypted notes). Search results are sorted so that the best matches are presented first.
ScrapBook can exchange notes, in both directions, with the built-in Memos or Memo Pad application.
ScrapBook is shareware with a 30-day trial period; it becomes fully functional when registered.
Nested Folders
ScrapBook lets you organize your notes in a hierarchical collection of folders, in which a folder can contain other folders, with no limit imposed on the depth of the nesting that you use. A simple "Folders" form lets you navigate quickly through the hierarchy. You can restructure the folders and move notes from one folder to another using Cut and Paste operations.
You can continue to organize notes using "categories" (as in the previous versions of ScrapBook) even as the notes are assigned to folders (these two methods of organizing your notes can co-exist).
Multiple Keyword Search
ScrapBook's primary search feature is the multiple-keyword search. The word or words used in a note's title are considered to be searchable keywords. Optionally, you can list additional searchable keywords that aren't part of the note's title but which are additional words that you could look for later on when performing a search (for example, the note's topic or subject matter, or synonyms for words used in the title).
A keyword search can search for one or more keywords. It is possible that several matching notes will be found. The best matches are those notes which matched the largest number of keywords, so these appear first in the forms that let you browse through the results of a search.
An internal cross-reference (which cross-references known keywords with the notes that use them) provides two kinds of speed improvement:
Keyword Autocompletion: when specifying a keyword you want to search for, you only need to enter enough letters for ScrapBook to recognize it correctly (ScrapBook fills in a guess for all the remaining letters so you can see when the recognition is correct). Direct lookup of matching notes - without needing to take the time to perform a text-based search! Keyword searches are very fast, even on older devices with slow processors.
Additional Search Features
Multiple String Search - similar to a keyword search, except that it also searches the message text of all unencrypted notes. (This search mode does not use the internal cross-reference.) Global Find - ScrapBook supports the Palm OS® Global Find feature. Find String - perform forward or backward searches to find occurrences of a string within the text of the current note. Additional Features
You can choose which notes to encrypt (using the DES encryption algorithm), and what password to use for each encrypted note.
Import / Export notes from (or to) the built-in "Memos" or "Memo Pad" application (which provides a path for exchanging notes with the PC)
Supports Palm OS® "categories" Can list notes, sorting by: Creation date Modification date Title (alphabetical order) Number of folders the note is linked to (0 or 1)
Message size (default ordering, by ID number - optimizes lookup speed) ScrapBook's Forms
Folders - create and manage folders, and notes within those folders
Edit - edit a note's message and its title/keywords, and select whether or not to encrypt the note Search - compose a list of keywords or strings that you want to search for Browse - view the notes (one at a time) that matched the most recent search BrowseList - view a list of the titles of the notes that matched the most recent search (then tap on a title to edit the note)
List - list all notes in a particular Palm OS® category (or in all categories) Import/Export - exchange notes with the built-in "Memos" or "Memo Pad" application User Manual
